History
First Arsch formed in 1986 when singer-bassist Jörg Mielke and then-drummer Till Lindemann met at Lindemann's birthday party. The group played concerts around East Germany and in the early 1990s recorded their debut album, Saddle Up, released in November 1992, with Paul Landers of Feeling B and Richard Kruspe of Das Elegante Chaos as guitarists.
In 1993, Lindemann, Kruspe and Landers left First Arsch to form Rammstein and Mielke replaced them with Volker Voigt and Tom Knopf. This lineup released a new song, "Das Schlagzeug fliegt da fast außernander", in 1995.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
